three good things

Three good things today.

An orchid re-blooming -- I've been reminding it to bloom every time I water it --and it worked. This is cause for celebration because a re-bloom has never happened before.

A little fox on a hexipuff for the beekeeper's quilt. We are fox-lovers but rarely see them around anymore since coyotes and mange entered the picture. Living in the city, any kind of wildlife sighting is a pretty big deal for us -- we even sort of like rabbits. Well, the dogs love them, Jan likes them, and I'm so-so because of the garden.

Awoke to fox screams early this morning. We've had them raise pups in our yard a couple of times. My husband did a small book of photos showing of "our" foxes. Then "poof" gone for about 4 years, but suddenly they're back again. You remind me that I must get some orchid food and try to get my two little ones to bloom!

"There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action; and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique. If you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. You must keep that channel open. It is not for you to determine how good it is, nor how valuable. Nor how it compares with other expressions. it is for you to keep it yours, clearly and directly." Martha Graham
